Fair ranked, fun characters, mechanics and maps. No eomm in RANKED. Ranked is rank based. Thank god I don't have to play ow2 if I want to play a hero shooter. Long live competition, wp netease.

yes

This game is a joke. No fullscreen, only windowed and borderless. Sensitivity slider supports only one decimal space, which is laughable, no way to transfer sens. No separate binds for hold/toggle crouch. No config files. ONLY BORDERLESS WHICH CAUSES INPUT LAG, PLEASE I BEG YOU WHAT THE ACTUAL DONKEY UDDER IS GOING ON, SOMEONE PLEASE. Framerates are also like youre playing on console. This game is not pc ready at all.

game gud

12 hours play time, barely two keys. This "bug" is just hilarious. No numbers by the sensitivity bar, the config file is lazy and scrambled. Settings could be improved. What a disappointment. Feels like a bad Black Ops 3 copy.

Although IW is an unbalanced broken mess, which learns nothing from ghosts, I wont be talking about that, but about the bugs and things that are missing from the game.

Major bug:
The keys and scrap basically don't generate at all for me. I've been playing for 13 hours and accumulated 210 scrap and 2, yes TWO KEYS. JUST TWO. I thought that maybe I'm just bad, but I have a 680spm and 2+kd as of this moment.
Sprint to cancel reload DOESN'T WORK.

Menus:

Matchmaking is long, painful and obsolete.
The game starts in windowed mode, although it's specified to start in full screen.
No pre-lobby chat.
The Menu interface is confusing and unorganised.
Challenges are too hard and way to grindy.
NO COMBAT RECORD.
Video options reset your position in the menu every time you change one of them.
91FPS CAP.
Only 3 audio presets: Headphones, small speakers and default.
Although there is and option to enable and disable "sprint cancels reload" it doesn't always work. More specifically it doesn't work when you reload whilst already sprinting.
No option to change between toggle/hold the scoreboard.
No numerical indicator for the sensitivity which makes it very hard and tedious to configure. (it does say "0" all the time in the right of the bar which just shows incompetence)
SnD is in the CWL playlist in custom game, but is nonexistent for the public and so are: Hardpoint, Uplink and CTF.
Friendly fire in hardcore kills you instantly, making you take the punishment for other people's stupidity and incompetence. (in most cases)
No ability to see someone's steam profile, nor to add them.

in-game:
Broken sprint to reload cancel.
Can't jump whilst the scoreboard is open. (died because of this like 3 times)
Ping is represented in bars, like on console, not in ms which is just pathetic.

Custom games:
No ability to save your custom preset.
No ability to expand from a 10 point class system to a 17 one.


Party system:
Party system is broken and in most cases doesn't work properly.
No party chat.
No indicator who's in a party and who is not.
No indicator for the party leader.
No ability to set the party privacy.
No ability to kick someone.
No ability to leave alone from the lobby if you're the party leader.

If any of you have something to add, please post it in the comments so i can update this.

The program has stopped working. 10/10

There is a "too long didnt read" down below.

Well now, I've had such joy and excitement for this game... Boy was I surprised, when I saw everyone complaining about the bad optimisation. I could hold 60 frames with 100% render resolution and medium settings, and having a 2GB GTX 670, I thought it was normal. Then the random FPS drops started, my aim flickered even with the slightest frame drops of 2+ frames. Mouse sensitivity in general seems like it always has some acceleration or smoothening. But then when I decided to try sniping, my favourite type of playing since COD 4, I realised that they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the sens when scoped in. Well how could they ♥♥♥♥ that up you ask? Lets just say that its higher than when hipfiring. But that wouldnt be a problem, wouldnt it? No, it wouldnt, you can get used to that, BUT you CANT get used to aim tearing when someone starts shooting you and your frames drop below 10.
Now then, when the most important part is over, which is aiming, lets get to connections and matchmaking. Well, it is for the most part pretty good, that is untill 3 days after release, when in-game online matches started to stutter, with huge lag spikes for anywhere from a minute to 4 minutes. Today on the fifth day post release, me including practically all my steam buddies from all over europe couldnt connect to a snigle online match.

And the game is full of little bugs, which are indeed very annoying, for example:
-not being able to access the steam overlay,
-when you alt+tab whilst in fullscreen, the game automatically transfers to windowed
- when typing in in-game chat, the assigned buttons instead of enabling the chat, both enable it and write "t" or "y" or "p" in chat (or whatever the designated key is)
- private matches cant be saved online
- when playing with virtual 7.1 surround your left and right speakers sometimes muffle themselves without any reason
- if trying to overclock the gpu while ingame the game freezes, leaving you unable to do anything other than to restart your pc
- today after being unable to connect to a match, when finally connected the gun (AN-44) was considerably lower than the center of the screen, while the other guns seemed to be unnafected
- paintshop and emblem making is not well optimised for the KB&M
- the "social" menu seems to click all the time on the same spot even though the user trying to go up or down
- NO RELOAD CANCELING
- NO BOLT CANCELING...
- intro is annoying (can be disabled if you know what you're doing)
- contrast on stronghold is blindingly high combined with the extreme brightness that cannot be turned down even when set to the minimum
- when the servers were down i went to bo2 for a bit, and the game, which is THREE YEARS older, made by the SAME devs, looks better, and I can run it on 125FPS EASILY, even the sensitivity is better

That would be it for the bad parts, now for the good ones:
- astoundingly great gun balance
- diverse weapons and costumisation
- creative, diverse and colorful maps
- most maps are 3 laned
- spawns were spot on 95% of the time
- new challanges that are fun and plentiful
- A FKIN STATREK *_*
- viable pistols
- viable granates and tacticals
- perks are perks, not essential god items
- coop campaign and zombies
- fun killstreaks, which are not op
- many specialists and specialist abilities to choose from, as well as custumising them with different clothes, prefered gun and win boasting
- the return of the almighty pick 10 system
- great deal to unlock via supplydrops
- cryptokeys (the item with which you unlock supply drops) are not too hard to earn, and do not need micro-transactions to be earned
- supply drops are purely cosmetic, so there's no pay to win with that

If you like COD you'll surely like this one, that is if you dont mind the apsurd amount of bugs, which honestly shouldn't be present in an AAA game. If you're like me and you cant stand the small changes and bugs, wait untill they fix this.

So, you might ask me, why have I recommended the game then, if I hate it so much? Well because, as much as I hate the game, I equally love it. It is a breath of fresh air to the COD community, which you wouldnt notice if youre not a COD fan. The game would be great if it was optimised like for the consoles.

TL;DR: Black ops 2 looks better and feels better, game is unoptimised at best, very buggy. Mouse sensitivity is bad, sniping even worse. Has great value if considering play time. IF you're planning to buy, wait untill an update that will optimise this game better comes.

OH boy this patch. The game had its issues before, yeah, they were bearable then though. With this marvelous new update youll see wonderful changes such as: no variable scope after you die the first time in a match, even worse connection, everyone lagging etc. BUT wait the problems dont stop here, with this all new update you also have *drum rolls* worse graphics. You might ask why well my fellow gamers, thats because on a 2GB gtx 670, 16gb RAM, and a quad core of 3.8GHz you need to put everything on low, because you get below 80fps, which wouldnt matter much IF THE GUNS'S RPM WASNT TIED TO THE GAME FPS. Damn you raven software, damn you activision too. Learn to make decent ports. So obvious that this update was rushed on the PC... Very dissapointing and borderline unplayable.
